He later wrote manuscripts that were critical of religion and had to flee France for fear of death.

I wrote a poem that made fun of my king, and was thrown in

prison for 11 months.

FUN FACT: Voltaire was one of history’s great

smartasses. While on his death bed, a priest asked him to reject Satan.

His response?

Now, now, my good sir. This is no time for making

enemies.

John Locke:________________________________________________________

o People have natural rights (life, liberty, and property)

Thomas Hobbes:________________________________________________________

o Human beings are nasty, selfish, and naturally evil

powers needed to be separated into three branches:

1. A legislature to make laws

2. An executive to enforce laws

3. A judiciary to judge and interpret laws

I don’t know about you, but I don’t trust one guy with all of

the power.

contract too…
